Boneyard programming

Is anyone else as frustrated as I am with the music programming on Boneyard? I was a long time listener of Buzzsaw and while it was not perfect musically at least they stuck to the hard, heavy and classic material. I can't believe some of the crap that gets played on Boneyard it is just ridiculous. I heard Bon Jovi last night! Bon Jovi for crying out loud! Then I heard Cane play a Twisted Sister song that he intro'd as "cheesy". WTF! If it's cheesy then don't play it!!! I'm starting to think that the DJ's are partially at fault here. They must have the ability to "skip" bad songs or songs that don't fit the genre.

Artist and song repition is a big problem too. Every hour I hear Def Leppard, Van Halen, Rush, Cheap Trick, Billy Squier and Joe Satriani. Not to mention the weak 80's music like Helix that they too often throw in. Boneyard is advertised as hard, heavy and classic! I'm sorry I just don't hear it! Bring back Buzzsaw!

Likewise, bring back the Boneyard.

The old Boneyard was NOTHING like the new piece of crap called by the same name. I have the same complaints as you have.

When I would rent cars with Sirius, I would listen to Buzzsaw. It was close, but not quite as random and deep as the 'Yard, but LIGHTYEARS better than what is being played now. I have no idea where the current playlist was cooked up at, but it SUCKS donkey dongs.

I emailed Matt Davis asking him about limited playlists and why so many songs are repeated everyday. Here is his response:

Hey Bill,

Thank you for your email. The playlist on the Boneyard has been tweaked a bit since the merger between Sirius & XM. It has been tightened up a bit and some new things have been added and a few things removed. The DJ’s really don’t have any say as to what is played. I will definitely pass your email along to the people in charge of programming. It is definitely important to me that you are heard. I really appreciate you listening to the channel. Let me know a couple of your favorite artists & the best times for you to listen and I’ll throw something out to you. Thanks again!

Matt Davis

Emails people, send them and send them often. Have your wives, husbands, relatives and friends send in email and tell the Boneheads that program Boneyard what you think!
